The ailments which affiict the kidneys
and bladder are so numerous that merely
to name them would fill a space far outrun-
ming the limits of this article. Suffice it to
say, that they are both obstinate and dan
gerous. To their prevention Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is well adapted. The
stimulus which it lends to the action of the
kidneys when they are lethargic, serve to
counteract tendency in them TO lapse
first, into state of pernicious inactivity,
and afterwards into one of positive organic
disease, which soon destroys their delicate
integuments, poisons the blood and causes
death. A double purpose is served by this
depurent. 1t promotes the activity of the
kidneys, and expels impurities from the
blood which have no natural channel of
outlet, except those organs. Constipation,
biliouspess, ever and ague, rheumatism
and dyspepsia, are also remedied by this
medicine of thorough action and wide
scope

How TO Handle Hats Correctly.

In q Broadway, New York, hat store.
conspicuously displayed, is n card on
which is printed in bold-faced type, rules
for handling the hat Customers are sup
piled with rules printed on smaller cards.
They read:
IF you pass lady, though stranger,
in the hall Of a ho;el, or on the stair, or if
you do her any little service, such as re-
storing her fan or glove, or if she makes
any inquiry of you, or you of her, raist
your hat.
"A gentleman waking with an acquaint-
arce raises his hat 10 those persons whom
his friend salutcs, but does not bow.
Gentlemen remove their hats in hotel
elevators when ladies are present.
"Well-bred men lift their hats to their
wives upon meeting them in n public
place as deferentially as to any other lady.
Take off your hat and keep it of in a
place Of amusement.
"Only ill-mannered men wear their hats
at meals in restaurants.
1T is not good form to doff your hat
upon being introduced TO gentleman,
unless he should be very much your SEN
Tor.
Wear your hat as little as possible and
you may save yourself from badness"

Natel went upstairs to his room, placed
his sword against the door, and ran him
